Sola scriptura holds that scripture, as interpreted by the individual believer, is the only inerrant rule for deciding issues of faith and morals.
However, it was a group of catholics that determined which, of all the writings, were indeed 'scripture' and would make up the Bible.
Many books were discounted, such as the recent 'Gospel of Judas' as well as 'The Apocalypse of Peter'.
If, indeed, it was a group of catholics, relying on the magisterium, that decided what IS scripture, then aren't protestants, relying NOT on sola scriptura, but on the magisterium?
